We had one brief period where we got a little time to try merging 
sources, but that passed without much result, and I don't see us 
getting another chance in the near future.

The last time we did a tarball drop it meant that Adam ended up wasting 
time merging old ObjC code into the TOT gdb - work which we had already 
done on our branch.  It would be great not to do that again...
